On March 15, 2026—a Sunday—Székesfehérvár’s young people, this time students from Székesfehérvári Vasvári Pál Gimnázium, bring the spring of 1848 back to life. Their special show honors the heroes of the revolution and freedom fight right at City Hall Square (Városház tér) in the city center (8000 Székesfehérvár). Beyond the performance, families flock to loads of fun: demos by Fehérvár Hussars (Fehérvári Huszárok) and traditional Honvéd artillery reenactors, a folk playground, hands-on crafts, interactive games, and the lively St. Joseph’s Day market (József-napi vásár). It’s a full day of history, action, and joy in the heart of Belváros.
